    Abstract: A set of fuzzy rules (FR) is mapped onto a neural network (NN) (501). The neural network (NN) is trained (502), and weights (wi) and/or neurons (NE) of the neural network (NN) are pruned or grown (503). A new neural network (NNN) formed in this way is mapped onto a new fuzzy rule set (NFR) (504).
